Description
This RfRx discusses how to deconstruct strict gender roles and stereotypes post-religion. Giving up the strict prescriptions of what you are ‘supposed’ to be will free you to live life more fully and to lovingly enjoy who you are!
Rebecca Williams is a licensed marriage and family therapist in California. She runs a couples therapy practice where she teaches other therapists how to be great couples therapists. Rebecca specializes in mixed faith marriages and families. Her therapy superpower is helping people connect across the religious-secular divide. Rebecca is a former Mormon who left the faith over issues of gender inequality. She’s a sometimes-angry feminist who wants to free everyone from the constraints of the white supremacist heteronormative patriarchy.
Hosted by Eric Wells, the RfR Support Group Director and Sherie D’Souza, RfR Board Member & Support Group Leader

This transitional period is an ongoing process that can result in a range of emotions, as well as a ripple effect of consequences throughout an individual’s life.
